Simulation with US3D Using Unstructured Grids from Fidelity Pointwise

Posted on By mechalab761691 No Comments on Simulation with US3D Using Unstructured Grids from Fidelity Pointwise

Abstract:For hypersonic simulations, unstructured flow solvers typically have problems predicting surface heat fluxes when strong shocks are present. This article outlines a workflow that applies best practices for structured and unstructured grids. In addition, unstructured grid generation can significantly reduce the time required to create quality grids for complex geometries. Several examples are computed using…

A Framework for Modelling Dynamic Covid-19 Aerosol Dispersion and Infection Risk within the Built Environment and Transportation

Posted on By mechalab761691 No Comments on A Framework for Modelling Dynamic Covid-19 Aerosol Dispersion and Infection Risk within the Built Environment and Transportation

FSEG responded to the COVID19 pandemic by adapting SMARTFIRE to simulate respired aerosol dispersion; and the EXODUS evacuation model to simulate physical distancing during pedestrian circulation. Videos in this page : THE PROBLEM The rapid emergence and global spread of SARS-CoV-2, and evolution of more transmissible variants, has led to a lack of quantitative understanding…

[Editor: As you may have heard, Creo 5.0 includes the new Creo Flow Analysis extension, a completecomputational fluid dynamics (CFD) solution. For many design engineers, this may be the first time they’llhave access to a tool that can accurately visualize how liquids and gases flow around a 3D CAD model. Assuch, we asked Kamran Fouladi,…
